I agree that NiC could have been so much better...it was the classic case of trying to please EVERYBODY and not really pleasing much of anybody...I enjoyed it, but it wasn't up to snuff. I've read the first chapter of CS that Laurell has posted on the fan club site, and it looks like she IS trying to get back to the old Anita...she's back at work at Animator's Inc. A new and previously unkown hit man is in town, but on personal business instead of a job. Going by a report I saw about a reading of the first four chapters or so, Musette arrives in town ahead of schedule. And of course the rumors that JC and Anita finally resume relations on page...and Asher is gonna be nekkid at some point in the book...WOOHOO! So there IS hope.

I've heard of NiC being described as a train wreck you JUST CAN'T look away from. Page after page of character slaughter. I personally saw those reviews BEFORE I read the book and therefore was prepared for what I read.

I can see where NiC is a means to an end and the next book will hopefully straighten out the HUGE MESS NiC left behind. Still, I have a very difficult time seeing it as anything other than one big filler section....as if some fanfiction artist stepped in and wrote the book....the only problem was...it wasn't an AB:VH fanfic author who wrote it...it was a Jack the Ripper author.

I enjoyed the first 6 chapters. I really like the dog's new outfit in that one. "growls" Hate the spaceman suit and haircut, hate the wierd S&M guy, felt like the whole mystery was an afterthought instead of the driving force of the book, liked Nat growing up a little, love Ash (as if that was ever in doubt), hated the AB/RAZ morning after scene. Refuse to comment on the shower scene.
